How to accustom yourself to a healthy lifestyle in 21 days: a plan of action

April 11, 2016, 09:00

There is an opin­ion that if you repeat the same action for 21 days in a row, it starts up in the sub­con­scious, and we begin to per­form it auto­mat­i­cal­ly. Of course, in such a short peri­od of time, it is unlike­ly that it will be pos­si­ble to ful­ly form a new habit, but it should be pos­si­ble to instill in your­self a love for a new lifestyle and feel its many ben­e­fits.

If you are deter­mined to chal­lenge your­self and set out to rad­i­cal­ly change your life, then it will be use­ful to walk through the basic prin­ci­ples of a healthy lifestyle.

Proper nutrition

One of the most impor­tant aspects. There is a lot of mate­r­i­al on this top­ic avail­able for free. The main point: the use of healthy and healthy foods, a suf­fi­cient amount of pure water, min­i­miz­ing or com­plete­ly reject­ing harm­ful foods (fat­ty, floury, very spicy, sweet car­bon­at­ed drinks, alco­hol), frac­tion­al meals (small por­tions 4–6 times a day) .

Sports

With­out phys­i­cal activ­i­ty, main­tain­ing a healthy lifestyle is impos­si­ble. The min­i­mum fre­quen­cy of train­ing required to main­tain good phys­i­cal shape is three times a week. For­mu­late for your­self what results you want to achieve, and devel­op a train­ing plan cor­re­spond­ing to them. This will help you to exer­cise reg­u­lar­ly and make your work­outs effec­tive. It is impor­tant to remem­ber that phys­i­cal activ­i­ty with the wrong train­ing reg­i­men and exer­cise tech­nique can cause injuries. In such cas­es, it is good to have Traumeel S oint­ment or gel on hand. They are rec­om­mend­ed for use in inflam­ma­to­ry process­es of the mus­cu­loskele­tal sys­tem, sports and domes­tic injuries (sprains, dis­lo­ca­tions, bruis­es). The sub­stances of plant and min­er­al ori­gin that are part of the com­po­si­tion acti­vate the body’s defens­es and nor­mal­ize its impaired func­tions. The drug has anti-inflam­ma­to­ry, anal­gesic, antiex­uda­tive, immuno­cor­rec­tive and repar­a­tive effects.

Healthy sleep

The peri­od of night rest is the time when the body active­ly restores the ener­gy spent dur­ing the day. For the suc­cess­ful imple­men­ta­tion of a new habit, healthy sleep is very impor­tant. Oth­er­wise, due to fatigue and stress, you will sim­ply lose inter­est in a new activ­i­ty.

Motivation

There are good days when every­thing is easy, and there are also those when you want to aban­don every­thing and self­less­ly “go into all the hard.” It is pre­cise­ly on such days that it is impor­tant to stay moti­vat­ed: think about your goal, about the ben­e­fits that a healthy lifestyle gives you — this will help you not to give up and keep mov­ing for­ward.

persistence

Don’t expect it to be easy. Form­ing a new habit is a long and dif­fi­cult process. It con­sists of three stages:

1. It’s easy. You are inter­est­ed. Every­thing is giv­en with a bang.
2. Strug­gle. There are doubts, but is all this nec­es­sary? At this stage, aware­ness of all actions and their con­se­quences is very impor­tant. This approach will help you come to the right deci­sion and com­plete the stage of the strug­gle with your­self as a win­ner. By the way, get ready for the fact that you will have to go through more than one bat­tle.
3. Sec­ond me. The fin­ish line, pass­ing which you will feel that the new habit has final­ly become an inte­gral part of your life.

Now you have the advan­tage: know­ing the steps, you can pre­pare in advance and avoid falling into the trap of “I can’t, it’s still not for me.” Every­one has the abil­i­ty to bring change into their lives. Just remem­ber that good habits, like achiev­ing suc­cess in any oth­er busi­ness, require con­stant effort.
